New line, retrofit, factory digitalisation: manufacturing projects are capital-intensive, regulated and often internationally distributed. PathHub AI plans budget, milestones and stakeholders.
Plants, lines and retrofits combine engineering, procurement and regulation.
Machines, integration, training: projects with multi-million budgets and 3-5 year capital commitment.
Planning at HQ, execution on-site, external vendors, international timezones.
ISO 9001, IATF 16949, CE conformity, OSH, machinery directive: compliance is mandatory and costly.
Each production outage costs 5-6 figures per hour: precise rollout planning needed.
From specification to start of production: the typical phases of an industrial investment project.
Detailed budget items (machines, integration, training), actual/plan compare in real time, variance alerts > 10%.
Workspaces per plant, shared coordination, common timeline: HQ keeps oversight.
Certification obligations auto-detected in project context and planned as milestones.
Stepwise commissioning, downtime windows modelled, backup scenarios and rollback plans.
From plant expansion to ERP migration: PathHub plans industry-specific multi-stakeholder projects.
Multi-year project with construction, machine install, IT integration. Stakeholders (plant manager, IT, construction coordinator, authorities), compliance (BImSchG, workplace, ISO).
Wave-based migration with stakeholders from plants, accounting, IT, consultants. Risks: brownfield complexity, interface break.
Audit preparation as phase plan: process description, risk management, validation, training, audit. Includes MDR compliance.
